Encouraging. This may be one of the decisive measures to get out of the crisis. As you say, the economy will also make huge savings from these measures, but even more important are the long-term psychological effects on civil servants and citizens alike. Citizens must not be afraid of the administration, because it is the administration that they pay for. The same thinking should be introduced as is used in the private sector - you pay what you get, you get the quality of service. Our administration is quite expensive, which is not necessarily a bad thing, but in return for that, we citizens expect quality solutions, responsiveness and efficiency.
 
My proposal is mainly along the lines that the government should, along with the removal of administrative obstacles, undertake a reform of the entire public administration, which should include the reorganisation of territorial units (administrative units), other specialised units, as well as local self-government. It might not be a bad idea to think about introducing a district system, because the current organisation sometimes duplicates procedures, confuses citizens themselves and sometimes makes them unsure which authority is responsible for what in which area. The thinking could also go in the direction of transferring competences to municipalities, as it is sometimes irrational or inefficient to have certain tasks carried out by ministries from Ljubljana, as they are largely unaware of the facts in order to be able to make a correct and quick decision in a specific case.
 
The second proposal is that the public sector wage system should be reformed. The current system is very inefficient and not motivational. My thinking is, first of all, in the direction of establishing a variable component for the performance of a civil servant. I speak from experience that it often happens that a civil servant says, why should I, what am I going to get out of it, and just does the minimum job tasks. The unstimulating environment is wasting a great deal of potential, because it should be remembered that it is primarily officials in ministries who create proposals and solutions for state policy in various areas. I sometimes even think that this may be one of the reasons why we are in a crisis, because the administration has become too stunted, out of step with the times and with new solutions, and that perhaps this is just a reflection of the unstimulating salary system, because, after all, everything revolves around money. Now, I imagine that if an official knew that if he was successful and innovative, that he would have some of that, it would be very different. A new job evaluation would have to be carried out and defined, which would be fairer and more appropriate to the tasks being carried out in a particular working or, if you like, administrative area. To summarise the current system, it is simply that pay depends on which grade and pay grade a civil servant is placed in. And, to be more specific, a worker in an administrative unit who issues certificates, for example, or who decides on simple administrative procedures, bearing in mind that he and a civil servant who works in a ministry, who decides on complaints or even creates policies and solutions, who cooperates with international partners, assuming that they are classified in the same grade (which is not very rare), are paid the same. I am of the opinion that it is necessary to move forward here too, and to properly evaluate the jobs, the tasks, the complexity of the tasks, the quantity, the conditions of work, which can have very positive effects for the whole country.
